Acoustic Guitar | Single-Cutaway Nylon Guitar

A simple template for a nylon/classical guitar with a single cutaway.

Acoustic Guitar | Santos Hernandez Classical

A hand-drawn classical guitar template – the headstock template is placed inside the body, so make a couple prints if you’re cutting parts out for tracing.

Acoustic Guitar | Torres Classical

Nicely detailed and hand-drawn. Includes neck cross-sections, and the author was kind enough to include metric and imperial measurements!

Acoustic Guitar | Dreadnought

A steel-string dreadnought template by C. Grellier. DXF version available below.

Acoustic Guitar | Gibson L0

A hand-drawn template for the Gibson L0 steel-string. Apparently, the only difference between the L0 and the L00 (also posted here) is the rear binding. Don’t quote that.

Acoustic Guitar | Fesselier Jumbo

Nicely detailed with purfing, neck cross-sections, and everything else needed really (apart from a separate fretboard – print twice). Drawn by Yves Fesselier. A multipage PDF with the template broken into A4 sheets is available here. DXF version can be found below.
